We bought a motorhome in Germany, but the registration and insurance is done on our behalf by the company we bought the car from. The company stores it between visits and does all the paperwork A friend bought his in Germany and had to get a friend to own it on his behalf.

We were both told that aliens can't register and insure a vehicle in Germany and I know the friend looked into it pretty deeply.

For some nationalities - Australian for instance - it is relatively easy to get some sort of permanent residency that would make ownership easier so that might apply to Canadians too

Totally correct, no way to do it. Either use Toni's advice, or use a friend if you trust one to own it in your behalf. Then use notary permit to ride it around + green card insurance.

There is a company in Amsterdam who will pretend to be the friend and own the vehicle on your behalf. Trouble is to get the german vehicle into their stable means paying import taxes which in Holland are pretty high.
Company is Turner campers and they seemed a reputable company when I talked to them. They can also arrange storage and all the same services that the company do for us in Germany. Not cheap but very very convenient.

However the other company also seemed to be above board but their claims that all their vehicles strictly complied with the world-famous 80 point annual safety check was total BS

You can buy in Germany and register somewhere in the EU where it's easier. E.g. in Estonia as long as you get a local as a "responsible user" in the paperwork, you can register and insure a vehicle as a non-resident. And getting Estonian plates for a German vehicle is easy, no import taxes, just a couple hundred euros for the plates and VIN check.
